Blueberry Muffins with Streusel Topping are an easy breakfast or brunch idea! These muffins are big, beautiful, fluffy muffins full of blueberries. The blueberries do not sink to the bottom in the rich cake-like batter. Not overly sweet, but definitely reminiscent of blueberry coffee cake. A perfect breakfast muffin to go with your morning coffee or tea:-)
The streusel topping on these blueberry muffins really takes these cake-like treats over the top! Made with brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and flour, the crunchy topping is just the "icing on the cake".
Why you will love Blueberry Muffins with Streusel Topping
Honestly, though, these blueberry muffins are not just for breakfast. They make a great snack, dessert, or quick lunch as well. I usually bake a double batch so that I can have a dozen in the freezer!
Made in just one bowl, these blueberry muffins only take 10 minutes to mix up and about 20 minutes to bake. You can have a healthy and easy breakfast on the table in just half an hour.
History of Blueberry Muffins
Blueberries were not native to North America, but were brought here by European settlers. In Europe, blueberries had been used in all kinds of baked goods for many, many years. When settlers arrived in North America, they brought blueberry plants with them. Fortunately for us, these first plants accepted the new land they were planted in and have thrived in many parts of North America!

Note
You can toss the blueberries in 1 Tbsp of flour if your muffins turn purple. Mine never do, using frozen blueberries in the thick, cake-like batter.
Be careful not to overbake.
Don't overmix the batter, stir the dry ingredients in just until incorporated.
Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before removing them to a wire cooling rack.
These muffins are best warm! If you are eating them cold, jsut pop them into the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
